Q

A water balloon is thrown horizontally with a speed of 8.31 m/s from the roof of the building of 23m. How far does the balloon travel horizontally before striking the ground?

A

dy = 18m

Solution:
Vx= 8.31m/s; dy= 23m
dy= Voy*t + 1/2 g*t^2
23 = 0*t + 1/2 (9.8)(t^2)
23 = 1/2 (9.8)(t^2)

23/4.9 = t^2
t = square root of 23/4.9 
t = 2.166535841s
dx = vx*t
dx = 8.31(2.17)
dx = 18m

53
Q

A motocorss rider at the peak of his jump has a speed such that his centripetal acceleration is equal to g. As a result, he does not feel any supporting force from the seat of his bike, which is also accelerating at the rate g. Therefore, he feels if there is no force of gravity on him, a condition described as apparent weightlessness. It the radius of approximately circular jump is 75.0m, what is the speed of the bike?

A
